Livio Felluga

Livio Felluga is an iconic Friulian winemaker, one of the pioneers of winemaking in his region, contributing to the reputation of high quality winemaking in this northeastern corner of Italy. For more than 60 years, he has shown that Italian white wines, when made from the best grapes from vines planted in the right place, with diligent care and attention and harvested at low yields, can be suitable. raw material for the best wine then in the bottle. In 1940, when Italy entered World War II, Livio was captured during the fighting in Libya and spent several years in a POW camp in Scotland before returning to a new, post-war Italy. Ever since his return, he has been a catalyst for change, exploring the post-war viticulture scene and deciding that the only sensible way forward is to produce first-class wines. In 1955, he managed to buy his first vineyard in Rosazzo, southeast of Udine and near the then Yugoslav border, now Slovenia. He went to a winery in Brazzano and over time managed to acquire 155 hectares of vineyards in the region, divided into 300 plots, so that every single one can have the necessary individual attention. Today, his children Maurizio, Elda, Andrea and Filippo are involved in the business, following his vision and passion and continuing to maintain the fame of Livio Felluga's wines, known for their exceptional and iconic style.
